To members to address the reconstruction assistance as idol group, I heard a story.
*[Only translated for Karen]
Iwata Karen.
Born in 1998, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture born.
2011 passed the 12th stage research student audition, in 12 regular members.
The stricken at his home in Sendai, and has experience in a while sent a shelter life.
- Or project, it began to what way?
Iwata Karen I'm a native of Sendai, but when there is an earthquake just have ahead of the final audition of AKB48, and do not afford to not come out from the hometown in such a situation, I think it will give up . Among such, and listen to the AKB48 has started activities for the disaster area, you can still wanted to go into this group. And "because waiting, please received absolute audition" to the staff that had you said, has led to now
- Among the four years of support activities, it is that it remains in the memories?
After six months from Iwata earthquake, it is when I went for the first time, Iwate Prefecture Rikuzentakata as AKB48. Some of the rain, after the high touch meeting after you live on top of the live track, I was referred to as "hand, warm". When I heard it, it can be turned into why cry. To everyone that gave me is also waiting for hours amid cold, to body was also fully cold also hand, we also I was never warm in live among the rain, but warm only touch people and people and feel that I'm born, it was warm from the bottom of my heart.
- Through support activities, only this among yourself, let us not forget absolute, Do you have it in that let's protect
Iwata Tohoku's a precious hometown that I was born and raised, my origin. Always the first to come to mind is that of the affected areas, I think that it should not be forgotten much. Happy is, but before I do that your job was overwhelmingly many related to the earthquake, such as disaster areas visit, recently regardless of the earthquake, it has increased that I am called to events such as Sendai. At the same, there is that it was said to be "Please do not call anymore disaster area", in the sense that different it is as to weathering, I felt as trying to forget fast. Because the people of the Northeast are going more and more before, without the dark face when I also to go hometown, in a bright feeling, I have anyway going to vigor. And, now also back to the northeast, to eat rice in Northeast, and we want to suck northeast of air.
- You can buy those delicious local doing so, it will be a big help also to eat.
Iwata I guess is a peach and seafood of Kesennuma in Fukushima. The Unfortunately, the "Do not it dangerous" and "can not eat in peace," that it is still many people say. Since you are selling it because it really is okay to have also a test in many layers, I would like to eat in peace to all means a lot of people.
- Until the reconstruction I think takes a still time, but future work?
Since Iwata I the only members of experience that sway in the field in AKB48, that I do not can only, I think that there is not a little that it can not be said only me. What even ten years standing I do not continue to go, and must continue to meet, four years later, I feel as much pain.
- Finally, do you have a message to the affected areas of everyone.
Iwata want to tell me the most is the fact that it "You can put up because the victims, I want you to grant the necessary never. Dream to give up the dream." I live in Tokyo now, but we have activities thought to most to be be great When Tohoku delivered spirited in by yourself to something. By fulfill their dreams, if we everyone is doing, thinking and hometown might become healthy, I think the not you proceed even reconstruction that can not be seen to surely eye.
